What are cookies?

Cookies are small text files that are automatically located in the browser on a user’s PC. They contain basic information on Internet browsing and, thanks to the browser, are recognised each time the user visits the website.Pixel tag (or transparent GIF or Web beacon). A pixel tag is a small invisible tag located in certain sections of the Services, in emails or in certain downloadable content, but not in the computer, mobile device or browser.Local shared objects (or Flash cookies). A local shared object is similar to a cookie, except that it is stored in the computer or mobile device rather than in the browser and, in addition to text, can also store other information. The methods for controlling local shared objects differ from those for controlling cookies.Web storage (or HTML5 local storage). Web storage methods are similar to those for cookies, except that they can store more information than cookies and such information is stored permanently.

We use these technologies in ways that are essential for the operation of our services, or parts of our services. For example, we can use cookies to determine where to route traffic to effectively distribute the workload across various computers.

Performance/Analysis

We use these technologies to analyse the use of Services by users and to monitor the Services. For instance, we can insert cookies that allow us to measure the time of your requests to our servers and our responses, to carry out A/B testing on new features, to record statistics on website use, to monitor your activity in the Services and the places from which you access the services.

Features
We use these technologies to offer certain features within the Services and to store your information. For example, by clicking the box “Remember me” on our access page, we insert a persistent cookie in the browser that allows our services to automatically insert your email address when you re-access the site. Other examples include storing preferences (such as language and location), preventing web application vulnerabilities, using Facebook Connect and other third-party integrations and to provide search results.

Advertising

We use these technologies to send you adverts relating to the services and other products, in order to better adapt them to your interests. In some cases, this is referred to as online behavioural advertising or interest-based advertising. Some (but not all) third-party services that we use in this context participate in organisations that allow you to withdraw from such use.

Who else uses these technologies on your services?Most of the cookies and technologies described above in our services are configured by us (i.e., they are first-party cookies) or are used in connection with the services and are configured by third-party providers according to our instructions (“third-party cookies”). Third-party cookies can be used in conjunction with each of the uses described above. For example, we use Google Analytics technologies to measure performance/analyses and Facebook technologies to provide the Facebook Connect feature.

Third-party profiling cookiesWe use several suppliers that can, in turn, install cookies for the proper functioning of the service we provide. If you would like further information about these third-party cookies and how to disable them, please access the links in the tables below.

Also, via the Privacy policy information address, you can find out about behavioural advertising and how to disable or enable listed companies that work with website managers to collect and use information for advertising purposes.
